Israel rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament plan while launching strikes in Khan Younis and southern Lebanon amid heightened regional rhetoric.

Geopolitical tension across the Middle East continues as Israeli forces carried out targeted operations in Gaza and southern Lebanon while diplomatic efforts faltered. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally rejected a 15-point disarmament plan presented by a US-backed peace committee, asserting that Hamas used negotiations to delay military action. However, Israeli leadership tacitly authorized initial reconstruction in southern Gaza.

In southern Lebanon, strikes on Tebnine and al-Mansouri killed one person and wounded eleven during ongoing talks in Rome. Israeli military officials stated the strikes targeted Hezbollah infrastructure following truce violations. Concurrently, Israeli forces killed a Hamas commander in Khan Younis allegedly preparing an attack.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump highlighted expanding economic pressure on Iran, while Iranian military leaders warned against ground incursions and state media reported liquidating two foreign intelligence agents.
